Peter Pan

This holiday season, take off on a high-flying adventure as the Beck Center for the Arts presents Peter Pan, a musical based on the classic play by J.M. Barrie. Produced by the same team who brought us critically acclaimed Beauty and the Beast—director Fred Sternfeld, musical director Larry Goodpaster, and musical staging and choreography by Martín Céspedes—Peter Pan features such memorable songs as “I Won’t Grow Up,” “Never Never Land,” and “I’ve Gotta Crow,” with music and lyrics by Mark Charlap and Carolyn Leigh.

"Peter Pan was the first theater production I saw when I was a child, and it was enthralling. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with an absolutely stunning cast and creative team as we transport audiences to James M. Barrie's magical world," says director Sternfeld.

Beck Center’s production has an unusual twist because it features a male actor, John Paul Soto, as Peter Pan, a role traditionally played by women including Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan, and Cathy Rigby. Also featured is Michael Mauldin as Mr. Darling/Captain Hook, Maggie Stahl-Floriano as Mrs. Darling, Kelly Smith as Wendy, Alexis Floyd as Tiger Lily, and a large supporting cast of 30 talented actors.
